Abstract:

A relative position of a power receiving unit to a power transmitting unit, represented by alignment assistance information, is corrected through a distance corresponding to a display delay time .DELTA.t.sub.1 and a vehicle response delay time .DELTA.t.sub.2. The relative position of one unit to the other at time t=t.sub.0-(.DELTA.t.sub.2+.DELTA.t.sub.1) is corrected to the relative position taken when it is assumed that a vehicle moves through a correction distance .DELTA.P=.DELTA.P.sub.1+.DELTA.P.sub.2. Although a position of the power receiving unit is actually out of a chargeable area at each of the time t=t.sub.0-(.DELTA.t.sub.2+.DELTA.t.sub.1) and at time t=t.sub.0-.DELTA.t.sub.2, the alignment assistance information representing that the position of the power receiving unit is within the chargeable area is displayed on an image display device at the time t=t.sub.0-.DELTA.t.sub.2.
